Possible Anal Warts??

Doc,
I don't know what anal warts look like, feel like, or what you feel when you have them.
But recently I changed my diet, to a high fiber diet. I've been going to the bathroom more frequently and seems like I am wiping a lot more down there. Recently I've been experiencing soreness and some blood after wipes. When looking at myself through a mirror, it seems like have tiny little sores/rashes about 4 around any anus.
I have had one open sore for a long time and it won't go away, possibly from continuous wiping etc.
Basically it gets iritated down there and hurts to wipe, I haven't seen any kind of warts or anything. The other day i noticied a horrible smell even after I showered.
I know you don't diagnose online, but do these sound like symptoms of anal warts?

What are anal fissures?
Thanks
Bottom line (no pun intended): you definitely need to see a health care provider.

Don't overreact, Man.
milanhugo: Good. Just follow up with your provider about the anal lesions. To be safe, you might want to have another HSV-2 blood test, if the cause of the anal lesions remains uncertain. But follow your provider's advice.
